From what I was always told, Fiber is supposed to make you really constipated if you take a lot of it. Now i've recently started eating Fiber One cereal and i've been getting seriously diarhea and my farts are real nasty.... is this normal? LoL

LOL, I had a similar experience with this cereal called "ancient grains" (sold in texas, tom thumb stores).

I had nuclear farts and shits like satan himself was punishing my ass. for a week I had to sleep on my stomach!

2 guesses: you are not used to fiber and you ate too much, or it's just not gonna work, in which case I might try flax seed ground up (works for me) or oatmeal.

Fiber actually eases costipation(doesn't cause it)....you take fiber when ole' number 2 isn't cooperating.....It will give you the runs is taken in a large quantity....Especially if your not used to the dose (as was mentioned).

Best advice: Ease into fiber intake, if you are tired of "regularity" try some cheese or dairy to plug that hole....

fiber could make you constipated if you take too much of it and not enough water.
but generally it is taken as a natural laxative

Holy shit (no pun intended), that's the funniest thing I've read on this board since this.

WizKid: one word, three syllables, broc-co-li. Ditch the fiber one.

you should have seen the cover of the box! it had this ancient mask, kinda like an aztec mask...made me think of human sacrifices. Next time i'm sticking to cereal with sweet little animals on them

 

[gmanlax7]

so ceebs howd it go when you ate a pound and a half of broc ?

 

[Ceebs]

It went fine, thanks. I have since repeated the event without any deleterious effects. My latest and greatest veggie binge was a 4 pound bag of hothouse tomatoes on Tuesday night.

Sometimes I even amaze myself.

I had the same exact thing happen, everyone else is right, you need to ease into it, eat a handful for a week, then you can ease into a bowl of it with non-fat milk, or try mixing it with some other foods like oatmeal or whatever. Once your body gets accustomed to the larger supply of fiber, it will adapt.
